[QUOTE="Dan23, post: 171740, member: 2327"] >>Is it so top heavy or tall in the saddle that I risk hurting myself in parking lot maneuvers?<< More injuries happen at low speeds on motorcycles than at high speed. (I know... anecdotal and dependent on how one defines high/low speed.) Point is, you're apt to run into that problem regardless of which bike you choose. IMO bottom line is consider and choose carefully but the FJR is a lot for you to bite off. That said, some have done so successfully.... but not by my recommedation. Oh, and think carefully before choosing a BMW. Read their sites awhile. The bikes are overpriced junk ridden primarily by people striving to be a little bit better than everyone else. FJR owners tend to be people who would like to be BMW owners, but cannot afford them. ;-) Best of luck to you. [/QUOTE]
